Montevideo, Uruguay | photoreport

Uruguay wanted to visit for a long time and all attempts to persuade me not to go to nothing lead .

Yes, in Uruguay not something that that is worth coming here just for tourism purposes . I'm rooting for this team in football since 1998, when he was the World Cup in France.

It is the only country in South America , in which I wanted to visit and sincerely regretted.

After landing at the airport of Carrasco , you will not see some unfamiliar landscapes. A feeling that you have landed somewhere near Moscow - plain and lots of trees in the background. One difference is that in February we have -20 , and then 25 and there is a feeling that you just changed the weather.

Montevideo - quite large and modern city . Since Uruguayans are descended from Spanish settlers , then save them as features in appearance, and in architecture.

City reminds any Spanish city . I was just in Barcelona, ​​so I can say that there are similarities .

Most enjoyable was to see people's faces. After Chile, where the population does not look very standard you get literally in Europe. Knowingly Uruguay called the South American Switzerland.

Girls dressed stylish man in a blue shirt , as if it were a city businessman . Old people look too good and very nice people and their eyes are very clear and literally glow .

Maybe I really lost touch during their stay in Chile of European appearance, but once you relax in Uruguay . People will not hurry , many handy thermos and a wooden cup with a mate . I do not know how well you can , but they drink it, and each shares with its neighbor . A feeling that they convey a piece of cake to each other and people are happy to eat it . But this is the usual grass !

This is the main area of ​​Montevideo

And now a few photos for football fans . You may not read and do not look unnecessarily for most people , this information is useless and meaningless.

Stadium Team Defensor Sporting. Not allowed to go inside because there was organized playground, at school and go into the stands was problematic.

And this is all the photos , but the other team. Uruguayan Liverpool (FC Liverpool Uruguay), sister of the English club , located at Estadio Belvedere. At first , I thought that the stadium will be at least a little normal , but it was not there . This is not a stadium , and just pathetic . Yes , the grass is there, but the rostrum ... In my own playing Schatura team Division 3 ( East). So it will be better stadium , and then the team plays in the first division .

Fans of the team have :)

Familiar name of the country in terms of what have often heard it, knowing that it is in South America imagined her overgrown jungle backward and poor, where people wear a sombrero-hat with large fields. But looking at the bright pictures see advanced civilization, which is clearly not-so-very far away from the developed countries. And although many of the buildings and facilities are a bit worn, everything looks well-groomed appearance, which indicates the high culture of the local people. Like a rich vegetation, and it is with large canopy trees and many varieties of palm and if I'm not mistaken at one point had a big bush of aloe, which we have a potted plant. Well, a few words about clean beaches, do not see the scattered papers, packaging and other debris in one word great.

This city is downright beckons, as the name itself brings something unusual. When geography lesson we were Uruguay and learned about its capital, then immediately remembered as such a title, especially the second part simply amazing. Would also like to note that this city really brings Spanish coloring, since it was founded Spanish settlers. The city and its residents are native Spanish heritage. This is a pretty big city, which is less than something similar to Barcelona and at the same time carries ancestral traits that can not be found anywhere else. Looking at the photos, which show the busy streets, even with houses and graffiti, still fall in love with him immediately. The streets are not wide pedestrians safely cross the road that hardly meet in our major cities. This shows that there remained identity and humanity. Faceless skyscrapers tower adjacent to the low houses, so that past and present can be perfectly combined. This city is very green, for me it is an indication that the nature and fresh air here is under control and in favor. I would also like to note that the promenade and beaches will satisfy even the most fastidious traveler.

Long wanted to visit South America. Like the name of the city of Montevideo. I somehow appeared association with Montenegro. After the word "Monte" means both cases in the "hill", and is apparently caused by terrain features. Indeed, Montevideo strongly resembles European cities. Perhaps because of the trees that were brought to the city from Europe, but most likely due to European settlers who moved to the area in the 18th century. I, for example, he recalled Stockholm - just clean the streets and many beautiful buildings. That's just not the palm trees in Stockholm. Montevideo And they give a special charm. It is also interesting that the city has about 20 sister cities in different countries: Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, New Zealand, USA, France, Sweden. In Russia, a sister city of St. Petersburg. Of well-known celebrities who were born in Montevideo can be called Uruguayan actress and singer Natalia Oreiro. Regarding the material - is the national drink of South Americans, in which a lot of caffeine. There are many vitamins and it has a positive effect on the psycho-emotsionalnoe human condition. Perhaps that is why the locals are so friendly and relaxed.

Fascinating photo journey :) Beautiful and spacious city, a city with an incredibly rich and eventful history, the town beach, probably here and should look like a tropical paradise :) City surprisingly clean, and if it did not take off just a traveler, it would be an effect certain zakazushnosti and advertising. What reminds old Tashkent post-Soviet era, and let the one without the sea but the atmosphere is very similar and close in spirit. Even the architecture is very similar, from soviet frankly distasteful to the beautiful communities of corporate buildings and sophisticated buildings probably still the colonial period.
